Traditional culture in east China county eyes visitors

A large number of international guests have been drawn to Ninghai County in east China’s Zhejiang Province, immersing themselves in the culture of its villages and enjoying warm welcomes from local people eager to share their traditional practices.

A traditional long-table banquet was held in the county’s Qiantong Ancient Town, an exceptionally well-preserved town built during the Song Dynasty (960–1279). Inspired by the stories of Xu Xiake, an explorer and travel writer from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), more than 100 overseas students also visited old villages in the county.
